This guy is the sort of creep who creates chaos where none exists and shouldn't be.
Good one. Ignore the pygmies who complain about lack of paragraphs
bttt
Funny you should say this; I just read an article (quoting the National Catholic Register, Oct. 13, 2005) that states one of Harriet Miers' long time friends swears Miers was raised in the Catholic faith, but that she left the Church around 1979 to become a 'born again evangelist'. They checked with the archdiocese in Dallas to look up her baptism and First Holy Communion documents. They found nothing.
That said, the bad news just keeps coming in about Miers. She apostasized from her original faith, and to me that has meaning. She had feminist leanings by helping to found a feminist lecture circuit whose first speaker was Gloria Steinham, and according to the Catholic World News, (October 3, 2005), "Meirs donated to Democrats Albert Gore and Lloyd Bentsen in the 1980s, according to records released by the Federal Election Commission."
Maybe she will turn out to be a great Supreme Court Justice, I certainly hope so if she is confirmed. But I can't help but wonder why President Bush overlooked so many great conservative Federal Justices out there with enormous Constitutional knowledge.
Boy, your over-the-top language convinced me. Not.
You know, I think I am liking this whole Miers thing.
First, I know Bush could have done better with this pick in many respects. And yet, because Bush hasn't let us down with this thing before, I am convinced that she is likely a conservative.
The president could have nominated another Scalia, sure, but would the rank-and-file conservatives have had enough toughness to really and truly and un-abashedly defend such a person as a "known entity"? I'd have to answer no, not before the Miers nomination.
What I am saying is, if this were Luttig we were defending right now, we'd likely be just that - defensive. But after this, if that same Luttig is the next nominee, it's all offense.
So, instead of "maybe getting a Luttig, and giving the libs some mo' in the process", we're instead "maybe getting a Miers, and darned well better get a Luttig" on the next go-round.
And, yeah, there is no guarantee we get another go-round with this President & Senate. But I still can't shake the feeling that we needed all this to get ourselves ready.
Am I the only one thinking this?
lets not forget about her meals on wheels experience haha

Guess you aren't more qualified then a person who has spent their life being a Top Corporate lawyer. Since both Judge Pickering and Scalia do NOT agree with either you or Ann, you both lose. BTW, as a Conservative are you NOT just a little embarrassed to be adopting the Hysteric Left's "You peons are too stupid to be involved with this, you need one of us enlighten ones to do this for you" argument?
Right on.
Unless she is withdrawn and a bonfide, verifiable with documentation, rock solid, constitutional conservative is nominated, never again will the GOP recieve my vote or my money.
The money I save will be used to fill up my gun case and stock the ammo bin.
If the left isn't screaming and throwing a tantrum about a GOP SCOTUS nominee, then something is seriously wrong.
Hey, I linked to your post from AnnCoulter.com. Pretty cool!
You would be a bad pick because you have a publicized agenda.
Dubya's cronies & stooges can go pound sand, imho.
The Miers nomination is a product of W's intellectually lazy fratboy mentality. I thought Cheney or Rove was supposed to be watching him!
Ann must have been lurking... A link to this thread is on her site...
"I went to more highly regarded schools than her..."
Did they speak English at those highly regarded schools?
:-)
Nor are you aware that AlGore was proLife back in 1988. He only altered his stance when he joined the Bubba's ticket of disgrace.
